Whether you need to protect a single facility or an entire campus of commercial buildings, the UL listed XR Series Access/Burglary/Fire control panels by Digital Monitoring Products (DMP) are up to the task. With its recent XR Series Version 182 update, this can-do panel now offers even more features and functionality.

XR Series control panel

Now customers using the XR Series control panel have increased speed, reliability, and greater distance in controlling Z-Wave Plus devices using their Virtual Keypad app. Also, customers have the ability to store a back-up copy of all Z-Wave programming.

DMP’s Dual Authority, previously called Two Man Rule, has also expanded with more options for added flexibility. Now, customers can assign Dual Authority to specific areas, as well as Profiles. In area information, the options for Dual Authority are none, ARM, DISARM (which includes access control requests), and all these operations in an area.

XR Series allows remote diagnostics

Not only can customers control specific actions, but in profiles, they now can specify which authorised users need Dual Authority for access or arming/disarming operations. This will help facilitate granularity in assigning who requires Dual Authority, such as a third-party vendor or an individual who provides cleaning services; whereas the two-person authorisation requirement can be applied among other users, such as tellers in a bank. Now, customers have the flexibility to specify that. Dual Authority is a feature of XR550N and E panels.

Also, as part of this update, DMP’s XR Series allows remote diagnostics from the Tech APP, just like the XT panel does. Now, the Tech APP can be used to perform communication testing and walk tests, as well as Z-Wave diagnostics. DMP is also increasing the sensor activity zones from 10 to 50, giving customers much greater access to their homes and businesses through their Virtual Keypad app.
